Xactware Releases Aerial Sketch for Xactimate

Xactware Releases Aerial Sketch for Xactimate











Orem, UT (PRWEB) February 18, 2011

The new Aerial Sketch™ tool in the latest version of Xactware’s industry-leading property repair estimating solution helps insurers and contractors use high-resolution aerial photos to dimension roofs.

With Aerial Sketch, now available in Xactimate 27.3, property insurance professionals can download aerial images and then trace key roof features, such as edges, ridges, and valleys, to produce fully functional 3-D roof sketches that can be used to estimate replacement costs.

“Obtaining roof measurements can be a nerve-racking adventure,” said Jeffrey C. Taylor, Xactware’s assistant vice president of Xactimate, “especially when weather or site conditions make it difficult to get access to all the areas of a roof that need to be measured. Aerial Sketch makes it easier, faster, and safer to get dimensions. Estimators can have roof dimensions in Xactimate even before they visit the site.”

When a claim involving roof damage is assigned, an estimator can download images of the loss site to Aerial Sketch. By outlining the shape of the roof, the estimator can generate a detailed roof plan and a 3-D rendering of the roof. Roof measurements can be adjusted easily, and quantities are automatically calculated so estimators can quickly determine the materials needed to repair the roof.

When a building is a total loss, the aerial images provide dimensions that are no longer available at the site and other critical details, such as the number of roof penetrations, the type of roof, exterior finishes, and so forth.

“Aerial Sketch is an important new tool that will help estimators work more efficiently and more effectively,” Taylor said.

House Insurance Quotes

Article by Sarah Martin









To get the best house insurance quotes try using the services of an online broker. Many of these brokers are automated almost completely by software so you get the quotes almost immediately. Sometimes they are emailed to you but other times the calculations are done online and displayed to you.

There are hundreds of sources online from which you can obtain these house insurance quotes. It is quite easy to find them by simply typing the phrase “house insurance quotes” into a search engine like Google. You will then be able to simply go from site to site to compare house insurance quotes from each insurance provider.

Usually you do not have to do too much navigating because one broker can do it all by comparing their quotes to all of the other quotes on the internet from the other insurance providers. If the company’s house insurance quotes are especially low they are more than happy to do this.

After you input some information into this broker style websites that specialize in giving you house insurances you usually get an email telling you everything that you need to know in order to compare one offer to and other. You should only be getting the house insurance quotes and not any other type of quote from these companies. If you get other offers for things like credit reports it is possible that the broker is not really a broker but rather some savvy marketing expert gathering information about you to put on a database.

A real provider of house insurance quotes will provide you with a professional break down of what you need to know. You should also have access to a real person if you need help and need to speak to one. It is also customary to get quite a few offers in one email and they should be also prioritized for you as well in the order that they best suit your personal needs with the cheapest house insurance quotes at the top of the list.

You can also easily approach the house insurance provider by phone or email. Many of these sites have live chats that make the whole process immediate and simple. The sign of a good homeowner insurance company or good insurance broker is an instant messenger chat line on their site that is constantly manned. If there is “nobody home” on these chats then you should probably not deal with that site as they might be sloppy with their customer service in other ways as well.

You should also never have to pay or give out personal information in order to get house insurance quotes. Expect to have to answer a brief questionnaire about what your house is made of and what size it is. This is needed for the insurance company so they can gage how much to charge you.

The great thing about using these online insurance sites is that you can usually apply for the insurance on the site and then download the info you need. However in some cases you might simply be mailed a form that you email back.
